Diagnosis
A genus of Orthomorphini with 20 segments. Body small-sized, adults ca 18–20 mm long, ca 2.2–2.8 mm wide on midbody metazona. Paraterga moderately well developed, metazonite to prozonite width ratio being ca 1.3. Adenostyles missing. Sternal lobe or cone(s) between ♂ coxae 4 present or absent.
Gonopod with a long subcylindrical coxite and a usual, cylindrical cannula. Telopodite long and slender, modestly curved. Prefemoral part densely setose, more than 2 times shorter than femorite. The latter without evidence of torsion, slightly enlarged distally, without sulcus demarcating a “postfemoral” part. Solenophore consisting of subequally modestly developed laminae lateralis, and medialis, both sheathing a similarly long, simple, flagelliform solenomere with a barely exposed tip; tip of solenophore never deeply split, poorly bi- or trifid, at least some of its apical prongs being short spines.
